Saying no to candy today!

(Kirsten) #1

I’ve been keto for almost two years and really don’t get the sugar cravings anymore…unless I’m literally SURROUNDED by Reese’s cups like I am at my office today. I brought a ton of ribeye steak with butter for lunch and a few keto chocolate chip cookies, and I think that’ll go a long way to keeping me from wanting to eat the candy. I know that it is literal poison to my body (PCOS, IR, super deranged and now the leanest and fittest I’ve been in years due to keto). Just goes to show how addictive sugar really is…that I could be fully cognizant of the negative consequences of eating sugar yet still want to eat a Reese’s cup.

I won’t eat one, just wanted to vent that I want to eat one.

Those little Reece’s devil’s disguised as a sweet little angel. Stay strong my friend :slight_smile:

I look at it in my life as a drug addiction. I don’t even let myself think about it because one bite would cause a massive spiral. It’s been almost 2 years without sugar for me and at least 4 years Reese cup free lol (the combo of chocolate and pb was a death sentence to my tummy, though it was my fave!)

that is helpful…I have been sober for 5 years and I think I still wanted a drink when I saw somebody else drink when I was 2 years in, so maybe this is just normal early recovery stuff.

I had the opposite problem, I don’t even like sweets that much but ate some anyway just because they were there (my kids had a great time Trick or Treating but gosh, so many sweets in the house now!!). I don’t even crave them or anything, but for whatever reason I still picked some up and ate some, first time in ages I’ve had sugar. oops. I agree though that sugar really is not good for our bodies (or our minds). You sound like you’re doing such a great job with your diet though, keep up the awesome work :3

My boss gave me a 2.1 ounce Butterfinger today and I didn’t have the heart to say no thank you. That thing is 44 carbs of poison!.. so as I was walking out to my truck after work, I layed it on the hood of the car parked next to me. Wonder who got it?

A few months ago, I had told myself I’d make a nice keto treat for today.

Haven’t wanted one for over a week now, still don’t. So I didn’t.

Oh, well…

Meh, I ate eight little Butterfinger bars and 12 pieces of Almond Roca. I had been ZC for 24hrs before I ate them. I must be doing something right, as I just tried on a pair of pants the same size I wore in College. I recently started losing fat again after I added in more carb days.

WARNING! This type of thing (Metabolic Slowdown) occurs only after quite a bit of time.

Well I said no to candy, but I said yes to chick-fil-a nuggets. LOTS of chick-fil-a nuggets. Lots and lots of chick-fil-a nuggets. I’m going to go die now :nauseated_face:

I gave in only a day before…i thought my resolve was tough and now after cheating a whole 2 days, my face looks like it is sunburned… i ate a food at our work halloween party and my face has broken out into a rash from an ingrident cause i didnt even check. That will teach me not to eat junk!

ME TOO! BYE!

(Brenda) #15

Same here. Except to add that I am the person charged with picking up the candy (poison) for the office. I came. I saw. I was not tempted.

V I made it through Halloween without a single piece of candy/sugar of any sort!

All I ate today was two hot dog weenies only as my treat and three cups of smothered cabbage with extra butter and two boiled eggs.

Full disclosure — for breakfast I added one teaspoon of HWC and one Splenda to my coffee, then made me a salty cocktail of ACV, mag citrate, salt, electrolyte water and one short squirt of Mio.

This was not a fast day for me and I still bracketed that 20 carb target +/-2. So I think Halloween was a success I did not really think would happen.

(Also, I had just come off fasts or 50 and 18 hours in the previous two days.)

I made it through without running anyone over who I saw dressed up. Counting this as a win.

If you eat two cups you get:
